104               TIMELESSNESS AND THE REALITY OF FATE






























                                                     One of the facts nullifying the theo-
                                                         ry of evolution is the incredibly
                                                      complex structure of life. The DNA
                                                       molecule located in the nucleus of
                                                     cells of living beings is an example of
                                                      this. The DNA is a sort of databank
                                               formed of the arrangement of four different
                                            molecules in different sequences. This databank
                                 contains the codes of all the physical traits of that living being.
                              When the human DNA is put into writing, it is calculated that this
                               would result in an encyclopedia made up of 900 volumes. Unques-
                                         tionably, such extraordinary information definitively
                                                      refutes the concept of coincidence.



                                           by coincidences. The probability of pro-
                                          teins, the building blocks of a cell, being
                                         synthesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10 950  for
                                        an average protein made up of 500 amino
                                      acids. In mathematics, a probability smaller
            than 1 over 10 50  is considered to be impossible in practical terms.
                 The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and which
            stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. If the information
            coded in DNA were written down, it would make a giant library consisting
            of an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting of 500 pages each.
                 A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can replicate
            itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes). However,
